Author Name: Jordan Castillo Price
Publication Date & Length: October 23, 2009 – 125 pgs
Thanksgiving can’t end too soon for Victor Bayne, who’s finding Jacob’s family hard to swallow. Luckily, he’s called back to work to track down a high-profile missing person.
Meanwhile, Jacob tries to find a home they can move into that’s not infested–with either cockroaches, or ghosts. As if the house-hunting isn’t stressful enough, Vic’s new partner Bob Zigler doesn’t seem to think he can do anything right. A deceased junkie with a bone to pick leads Vic and Zig on a wild chase that ends in a basement full of horrors.
In this story, I felt that we were able to see more of the relationship side of things. Vic and Jacob are trying to find a new place to live, together and while Vic is not 100% sure, he wants to make Jacob happy. The struggle that Vic has with how his relationship is developing was one that I was not expecting. I had thought that with the chemistry and love these two had, that nothing was going to bring them down.
I, again, was sad that Lisa was not more a part of the story and that ultimately, she kind of cut the boys off from her. I liked her so much in the first story and shutting her character out when she was supposed to be learning about her gift seemed like a strange move. However, with other things to focus on, I was able to see past that disappointment.
The mystery in this story was somewhat strange. I think I understand why Vic was not able to truly see them, but at the same time, I could very well be making things up in my own head in order for me to make sense of it all. Who knows? I didn’t think that this mystery was as clear cut.
Despite my reservations about this story, it did leave me wanting to read the next and see if we get a revival of Lisa in the next story.
